Nicky Hayden sets first lap record at Indy

[joshsvoss]

I just wanna fall asleep to his voice

I think you're all a bunch of idiots arguing about what country has better drivers and shit. I've seen legendary drivers from just about every region of the world, and there's no reason what so ever to think that one part of the world has better race car drivers than the other. So maybe it's time to get the dicks out of your asses and argue about something relevant. I'm American btw, but I choose not to be as ignorant as many others.

[MissEgasMoniz]

@erasetoimprove Well said mate - I have been awestruck by drivers from every continent in all kinds of motor sport. Let us leave the ugly racial/ethno crap to other sports such as football/soccer.

[apostate001]

Sucks no American can race at that, or any , track on an American motorcycle.

[rigd49]

In 1926, an Indian with a sv 750cc 'Altoona' motor had lapped a Board Track at 120.3mph.

cool bike

[fewilsonjr]

I stood in the Ducati Grandstand for this inaugural race! Very Cool!!! Can't wait to go back next year, with or without rain!

[cmv76]

I was there all weekend and it was awesome, even with the weather the way it was.

[TheMachRider]

the the fuck is your problem?

[wanky448]

fucking canadians....dumb as fuck and jealous of americans...hahaha you actually said you are the best? best at sucking cock!

[OsamaBinLadenx]

i gotta agree with wanky, canadians suck balls. duhamel hauls ass, but thats it, the rest of them can clean my cornhole with thier tongues

[TheMachRider]

you've got a serious problem then dude. the guy had a good time and he was describing the event. what the fuck crawled up your ass this morning to be so negative?

[TheMachRider]

you're the best? ok, nice youtube account name, faggot champion.

[ducatiloo]

How many of you couch racers even went to see MotoGp in Indy this weekend? Thought so.

[crespo06]

he went around backwards.

Is it backwards for moto gp but forewards for f1?

[JujuZer0]

Backwards or forewards, it's still a dull track ...

I don't understand what they're doing here, there are such great tracks in the USA (Road America, Road Atlanta, Virginia Raceway, ..), which aren't that much unsafe than Laguna Seca, and so much better than this Mickey Mouse track ..

[crespo06]

isnt it because only indy and laguna seca can be raced in the wet?

[JujuZer0]

No idea really, but I would guess that based purely on safety grounds, only Indy and Laguna meet "European" safety standards ... On the other tracks there always are some parts where the wall is REALLY close to the road, especially in curves ..

[erasetoimprove]

@JujuZer0 I agree. Even the Daytona road course is more exciting than Indy's lol.

[eAGTRaser]

Why don´t they take Turn 1? I mean, the banking would be a premiere in MotoGP, so why do they miss it? Ok, in F1 we had some troubles with it, but hey, won´t happen again, dissapoints me a bit...

[JujuZer0]

Imagine what would happen if a driver was to lose its bike in the banked part for any reason, and you'll get the answer to your "why" ...

And even with this configuration, I wouldn't like to see a driver blow a tire in the main straight (like Nakano at the Mugello in 2004) or a 1st-turn accident (like at Catalunya in 2006) ... Hopefully it won't happen

[tvangess]

the riders say it is plenty dangerous as is, and they did ride the banking on turn 2 of the oval, which was turn 5 for the bikes

[toddwaterskier]

It's always interesting to see how complete idiot's respond. (first two comments) Having ANY coverage of anything going on in the US regarding MotoGP bikes is fantastic. The best thing they could have done is have a guy from Kentucky go around the track for the first time on an old bike. Get a clue guys...this is great for the sport.

[die996]

Indianapolis MotoGp version with an Indian?? Man, you need entertainment...

[buntcakemadness]

what is this crap???

[MTG115]

I don't get it!

[Minotauro79]

What is there not to get?

[Sylviapearl]

Thanks for posting. We read about this in RoadRacerX. Wish we could've been there!
